The Interstate Comm ission

MEMPHIS, May 5.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission concluded its
lsbors to-day, after hearing evidence
from merchants of Memphis, Louis
vile, Lexington, Little Rock, and New
port, Ark, to the effect that the en-
forcement of the fourth section would
be disastrous to commerce and indus
tries at the points named.
The Louisville and Nashville, North
Carolina and st. Louis, Chesapeake
and Ohio. and the southwestern rail-
roads were granted two weeks time to
file arguments and statistical informa-
ton in support of their petition for a
suspension of section 4.
Representative of the river interests
we're in attendance, and asked leave to
present their case in writing, which was
granted.
The opinion prevails that the testi-
mony taken here has not impressed the
commission adversely to section 4.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, May 5.-After
the withdrawal of Camden's name yes.
terday the Democrats were unable to
make a nomination, and went into the
Assembly to-day determined to let
events dictate their course. Nine Dem
ocrats were nominated, but the contest
was known TO be between State-Senator
Somerville and Judge Faulkner.
The voting was about evenly distri-
buted between the nine, when, at
the end of the roll-call, Delegate Kidd,
who bad nominated Senator Somerville,
and at that Senator's request, changed
his vote TO Faulkner. This was the
signal for the Democrats of both fac
tons, and changes were made in rapid
succession until Faulkner had as votes
three more than were necessary to elect
The two delegates from Lucas's county
also voted for Faulkner. The result of
the ballot as announced was: Faulkner,
As; Flick, 81 Barbee, g. Whitaker,
2; Camden and Brown, ] each.
The withdrawal of Camden's name
and the election of Faulkner is n
triumph for the anti-Caucus Demo
Gratis, who early last session proposed,
among others, to the Camden men the
name of Faulkner as a compromise
candidate.
The new senator, Charles James
Faulkner, is about forty years of age,
and has held only one public posi-
tion-that of Judge of the Thirteenth
judicial district. Senator Faulkner
has e liberal education, stands in the
front rank of the jurists of the State,
and is both an orator and debater of
ability.
Last night the members of the Legis-
lature rendered the citizens of Charles
ton a hop in the Hotel Ruffner. -Four
hundred invitations were issued, and
an immense throng avalled themselves
of the opportunity to chase dull care
away. Dancing was begun at 10 p. NJ.
and continued until A. NJ, with On
intermission for supper at A. NJ. The
universal wish was that the Governor
might call an extra session every
| month.

SHARPLY SHAKEN UP.
Damage fra New Mexico aud Texas
byTuesday's Earthquake.
fBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l

fIIy telegraph 70 theDispech.I
ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, May 5.--Addi-
tional results OF the earthquake have
been developed in this immediate vi
cinity. Albuquerque seems TO have
been on the extreme northeast ex-
tremity Of the wave, which had nearly
spent its force before reaching here.
1be shocks at Sabinal, about forty
miles south of here, were much more
severe than at this place. Two tremors
were felt, both in northeast and south
west direction. The first occurred at 3
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, producing
a slight oscillation then came pause
of nearly minute, during which an
ominous something" in the atmos-
phere added sensation of sufocation
to the feeling Of awful suspense. This
was broken by a terrible vibration,
which created the utmost CONSERVATION
among the inhabitants Men, women, and
children rushed precipitately into the
streets-in numerous cases only in time
TO escape with their lives from the tot
tering buildings. Sabinal is one OF the
relics of New Mexican antiquity, and
the adobe dwellings of the natives
we're so weakened by age as to
fall an easy prey to earthquakes. A
number of them were levelled to the
ground, and the damage, although not
| great in the value of the buildings and
household goods destroyed, will prove
n serious loss to the poor families whose
homes were ruined. The Board OF
| County Commissioners were in session
at the time of the shock. The officers
and county fathers didn't take time to
90 out Of the building by the door, but
| got ont through the windows. Sheriff
Russell was one of the few who started
10 90 out by the door, but was 80 al
fected by the shock that he required
assistance or he would have fallen.
Ell PAso, Tex, May 5.-Besides the
| big shock at 3:15 p. NJ. Tuesday there
| is ample testimony that at least four
other shocks had been felt-one about
IL A. NJ. Tuesday and one about D
z. n. The one at $50 last evening
was felt very distinctly by persons on
the second floors of buildings, and the
| gas-fxtures and other movable things
we're seen to sway The shock seemed
| to be of four or five seconds duration.
Many persons say there was also a
shock between s and 9 o'clock Tuesday
night. "The shock Tuesday afternoon
was heavy one" said United-States,
Signal-OfIicer Twaddle. at would
have been called heavy even on the
Pacific coast, where light shocks are
frequent Such shocks as that expe-
rienced here Tuesday are not felt on
the Pacific coast oftener than once in
fifteen or twenty years" The general
opinion seems to be that the shock will
lead to the erection of more substan
tial buildings, and perhaps prevent
the construction of buildings over two
stories high.
